Behaviorology of Ethnic Minorities in the New Foreign Policy.

The transition from high politics to low politics, rising the importance of socio-cultural forces in policy-making on one hand, and considering minorities as transnational identity, on the other hand, leads to analyzing the influence of ethnic minorities in foreign policy. However, the depth of ignoring minorities went so much that has been considered a culture-averse issue. Despite the cultural globalization and seating on the third level of politics, the readers of international relations consider this social force as a by-product of mutual relations between the processes of state-building and anarchic structure. However, ethnicity is essentially a political issue. But the changing system of foreign policymaking in the post-cold war era has not only provided ethnic pluralism affected by lobbying groups but also encouraged the ethnic minorities to influence policymaking. In other words, the internationalization of domestic politics as the products of ethnic activities and the evolution of communicative technologies led to the qualitative activities of ethnic minorities. However, the under-representation of ethnic groups led to political issues. Thus, this paper tries to explain the relations between ethnic minorities and foreign policy. According to the main hypothesis, political and democratic representation in decision-making will compensate for this gap. Finally, by applying the theory of sociology of pluralism, this paper will employ the analytic method to test the mentioned hypothesis.
